No increases for the next decade which means 10 years to me but obviously means 2030 for the negotiators.
Whenever a utility seeks a rate increase, we should require fixed allocation to burying utility lines on key corridors. Take for example the blocks of St. Clair immediately west of the Main Library and American Legion Mall, one of the most important civic settings in Indianapolis. The visual streetscape here is cut up and crowded in by an ungodly number of wretched wires and poles. Total vibe killer. It tells every visitor that we don’t care how the city looks.. And it impedes redevelopment of the ugly asphalt lots there. No self-respecting city should allow this. The remedy is simple: $10 million dollars a year from electric, phone and cable and internet providers would change the face of the city. Require AES and every utility pay now to fix their visible damage to the public realm. As long as we tolerate visual blight we cannot be a great city. Leaders, please reclaim the full civic mandate.
